Yeah, it is. Not the deeper cream color that I prefer, but the really bland, almost white, light beige or whatever it is. But now I’ve got another notch on the automotive bedpost - this is the first 240D I’ve ever driven, and Mother of G-d, is it SLOW….. -D > On May 6, 2019, at 1:38 PM,

You could start at 18 then go to $2k, would probably be a nice deal with a bit of work as it is in good condition. Slam it, install a kicker in the trunk, and put a stack through the hood and sell it to the goobers on FB. --FT On 5/6/19 1:10 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: Dan asks:

Heh. This is not a BAT flip car. It’s not that good. 212k on the clock, I think it would need a lot more freshening to even remotely resemble a BAT flip. The seller is not a FB person, so I doubt very much it would end up there. He was bemoaning the travails of just dealing with the CL garbage
